The townsite was approved and Bungendore proclaimed in 1837.<img alt="bungendore royal hotel" class="richtext-image full-width" height="474" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/bungendore_royal_hotel.width-800.jpg" width="800">The following year a lock-up was built and The Harp Inn was established as the settlement became an important crossroads which linked – and still links – Goulburn, Braidwood, Queanbeyan, Canberra and Cooma.In the mid-1850s, bushrangers roamed the area in and around Bungendore, often convicts who had escaped captivity on one of the local properties.<h4 data-block-key="4nh5g">You’re closer to the coast.</h4>With just 110km to travel, you’re about 90 minutes from Batemans Bay.<a href="https://zango.com.au/rent/search/?property_class=rental&amp;listing_type=lease&amp;address_suburb=Bungendore,%202621,%20NSW&amp;surrounding=true&amp;order_by=price&amp;property_status_groups=current,underOffer,includePrivate&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View all properties for rent in Bungendore.</a><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/search/?listing_type=sale&amp;address_suburb=Bungendore,%202621,%20NSW&amp;surrounding=true&amp;order_by=price&amp;property_status_groups=current,underOffer,includePrivate&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View all properties for sale in Bungendore.</a>

Hands up if you still say ‘Never Eat Soggy Weetbix’ in your head when you’re trying to tell your east from your west. No?

North, south, east or west? Homes on the very outskirts of Canberra

In the rural village of Gundaroo, the architect-designed <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">25 Morning Street</a> is almost hidden by leafy trees. You could be forgiven for thinking the rest of the home is as unassuming as its humble facade, but this is quite a property.“It has that classic Australian double-fronted design, with French doors on either side of a main door and a verandah,” says<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white-bungendore/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Bungendore</a> selling principal <a href="/agents/ellie-merriman/">Ellie Merriman</a>.<img alt="25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-image-0-20240403070203819003-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-imag.width-800.jpg" width="800">“This home is quite unassuming from the front, but once you go inside, the appeal only continues.“It was designed by the architect to be not only really impressive but also really functional.”Three-metre ceilings give a sense of scale, while large windows let the natural light flow in.“You come into an open-plan living room that is filled with light because the windows face the north, and you look out over the fig trees,” Ellie says.“The kitchen is a very modern design with white marble and chrome.”<img alt="25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-image-0-20240403070158216863-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-imag.width-800_zt3Ncdm.jpg" width="800">Each of the four bedrooms has high-quality wool carpets, while the master suite has a fully tiled ensuite and walk-in closet. The remaining three bedrooms are queen-sized.Sales agent <a href="/agents/ava-merriman/">Ava Merriman</a> says the current owner is an interior designer who has used her skills to make elegant additions to the architecturally designed home.“Everything, from the paint choices to the finishes in the kitchen, has been really thought through,” she says.“This home is an example of a property that has been crafted by someone who is a professional.”<img alt="25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-image-0-20240403070200450796-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-imag.width-800_PWwRPuE.jpg" width="800">The 2023 sqm block boasts beautiful landscaped gardens, reminiscent of a storybook.“This is a bigger block, and this property would be great for someone who wants to have a nice garden or sit outside in the sun,” Ellie says.Ava says the home was built on land that used to be part of a strawberry farm, so it’s very fertile and water drains really well.“It has a lot of beautiful, flowering native and introduced flowering plants.”Fully irrigated, the gardens include an established vegetable garden, fruit trees and a chicken run.People can enjoy the green views in their backyard from the outdoor courtyard – or cook dinner in their pizza oven.“You walk through the door, and it feels like everything is in order after a long day,” Ellie said.“It makes you want to sit outside and have a cup of tea or a glass of Pimm’s because this property is a quiet, very beautiful space.”After a long day, a dip in the 2-metre heated pool (tiled in blue Italian mosaic tiles) is sure to be a common occurrence. A 19th-century galvanized shed has been converted into a pool house and rustic retreat from the main house.Solar panels, offset to the grid, add a sustainable touch, while hydronic in-slab heating throughout the house will keep you cosy when the mercury drops.<img alt="25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-image-0-20240403070157782949-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711-imag.width-800_NFgKeZr.jpg" width="800">Ava says the timeless features bring luxury to the home, while the property’s size means there is room for everyone to find their space.“The home is very classic. It’s not a ‘hit you in the face’ kind of design,” she says.“Every part of the house has been thought about and designed to be simple but rich.”Moving to Gundaroo brings easy access to rural living in a close community.“We meet a lot of people looking to move to a property on a small acreage and have a more rural lifestyle,” Ava says.“Gundaroo was first settled in the 1820s, so it is an excellent example of a historic place with historic buildings and more modern conveniences.“I’ve seen people chatting with their neighbours, and the village has a cheerful, friendly vibe – you don’t get that everywhere.”25 Morning Street, Gundaroo is for sale for $1,990,000 - $2,190,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/25-morning-street-gundaroo-nsw-2620-98711/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/storybook-home-in-morning-street-in-gundaroo-is-quite-the-eye-opener/763848" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

Like every building they’ve done, they haven’t had issues, which is a very positive thing.“They’ve built with nice inclusions and great layout of apartments. They’ve got a good reputation. You can buy with confidence because of who built this.”<img alt="1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853-image-0-20240423031715176651-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853.width-800_r2y01PE.jpg" width="800">Kris believes there will be significant interest from downsizers in the penthouse.“This presents a great opportunity for a couple looking for something different from a large family home that may now be a lot emptier if the kids have grown up and moved out.“The penthouse offers space, privacy and a superb outlook, and that’s exactly what appealed to the current owners, who moved out of a large home on the coast and came here to be closer to family.“This will suit someone who wants an exceptional space and a phenomenal outlook.<img alt="1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853-image-0-20240423031718026338-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1199" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853.width-800_78T8ZeP.jpg" width="800">“In saying that, though, this could also suit someone who still has an adult child with them as there are three garage spaces that sit side by side downstairs. That is fairly unusual but will be ideal for a three-car family or someone who needs an additional space.”Also down below is a bustling hub of cafes, restaurants and shops, making it easy to indulge in the vibrant atmosphere of city life.“The Gungahlin marketplace is ever expanding, but it already has all the shopping that you need,” said Chris. “There are boutique shops, as well as Woolies, Coles and Aldi.“On the second floor, you’ll find the complex swimming pool and a well-equipped gymnasium, and right up top is the rooftop garden with picnic tables, barbecues and a pizza oven.“Hand on heart, I think this is the best building in Gungahlin for the amenities, the inclusions and the layout.”<img alt="1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853-image-0-20240423031716836415-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853.width-800_LLIotKa.jpg" width="800">Other notable features include an oversized ensuite complete with a double shower, bath and window to the main bedroom and a sleek main bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a double shower. There’s a separate laundry with extra cupboard space, a combined washer and dryer, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, and electric blinds on the living room windows.“I love the balcony space here,” said Kris.“It’s a decent size and has plenty of space to relax for a morning coffee or afternoon-evening drink. The balcony is also beautiful in winter as it gets some westerly sun which will also help with warming up the inside naturally.”Kris said the apartment was on the market with a price guide of $950,000 to $1.1 million and was expected to go to auction on May 18 unless sold by private negotiation before that.1303/2 Gribble Street, Gungahlin goes to auction Saturday 18 May at 10:30am.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/penthouse-apartment-takes-city-living-to-a-new-height/764017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

5 best indoor play spaces on the market right now

Sutton resident Lisa Doble describes driving home to her tiny village at the end of the day as “like that feeling you get when you hit the bottom of the Clyde Mountain — you start to go into full relaxation mode”.“You sit up straighter, breathe deeper and you feel the stress in your shoulders drop,” Lisa says.“It’s the best feeling in the world.”<img alt="IMG_5527" class="richtext-image full-width" height="917" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_5527.width-800.jpg" width="800">The tiny village of Sutton, population 1,556, was established in the 1860s and is located just 19km from the Canberra city centre. It’s rural living in all its glory: the amenities include a pharmacy (which also stocks a small range of groceries), a post office, monthly markets and a bakery that’s popular with lycra-clad cyclists on the weekend.<img alt="3152-sutton-road-sutton-nsw-2620-80401-image-0-20230523044643247983-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/3152-sutton-road-sutton-nsw-2620-80401-image-0.width-800.jpg" width="800">Houses in Sutton village range from rambling older huts to sleek modern builds and sit on big blocks packed with every animal you can imagine: donkeys, alpacas, sheep, horses and cows. Street lights are scarce, so you sleep at night “under the brightest moon and even brighter stars,” Lisa says.“The best part is, I can go out to dinner in Dickson, to a Raiders game or to the racing at Thoroughbred Park and I’m home in about 15 minutes.”<h3 data-block-key="6bosq">Other things people don’t know about life in Sutton.</h3><h4 data-block-key="bi8s3">The Eagle Hawk is your local.</h4><img alt="eagle hawk" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/eagle_hawk.width-800.jpg" width="800">The Eagle Hawk Hotel on the Federal Highway draws in a diverse crowd: mostly because you can cook your own steak on the stone grill.“It’s definitely got character,” Lisa says.“From tradies who are staying at the hotel and working in Canberra, to people from the surrounding districts, and don’t forget there are some very wealthy property owners out our way as well, so it’s a real mix.”<h4 data-block-key="bskee">You can have goats as pets.</h4><img alt="IMG_5524" class="richtext-image full-width" height="905" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_5524.width-800.jpg" width="800">They’re not just cute, they help maintain your yard as well.

Things people simply don't know about life in Sutton, NSW

A piece of masonite, slathered in black-and-white photos and official documents from the 1930s and 50s, has turned out to provide a beautiful background story to one of Canberra’s earliest buildings.<img alt="IMG_1898 (1)" class="richtext-image full-width" height="476" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_1898_1.width-800.jpg" width="800">The board was discovered on Collett Street in Queanbeyan, among a pile of rubbish awaiting collection by the local council. It was delivered to Zango by a reader who thought we might be interested in what appeared to be an unusual piece of Canberra nostalgia. Of course, we were.<img alt="IMG_1901" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_1901.width-800.jpg" width="800">What may have been a school project but looks more likely to be a showpiece for an anniversary of the building, shows the back story of the home of Canberra Dairy Society Limited on Mildura Street, Griffith.<img alt="IMG_1892" class="richtext-image full-width" height="440" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_1892.width-800.jpg" width="800">The inter-war, functionalist style building is still there today – although several further buildings have been added to the site – home to the Canberra headquarters of Capitol Chilled Foods Australia, where your treasured Canberra Milk and Dare Iced Coffee is treated, packed and distributed.<img alt="IMG_1887" class="richtext-image full-width" height="478" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_1887.width-800.jpg" width="800">Photos on the board show the original 1937 model for the milk treatment depot, including a manager’s residence, which was added in 1940.According to the Canberra Museum and Gallery website, local dairy farmers joined forces in the 1930s to create the Canberra Dairy Society Limited, after ongoing complaints about milk quality and availability from Canberra’s ever-growing population.<img alt="IMG_1890" class="richtext-image full-width" height="488" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_1890.width-800.jpg" width="800">Although individual dairies had established cool rooms and wash up areas on-site, there was apparently no improvement in the quality of milk and its distribution.The purpose-built milk treatment depot offered bulk storage and modern cooling facilities.<img alt="IMG_1891" class="richtext-image full-width" height="485" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_1891.width-800.jpg" width="800">For many years milk was received in 45L (10 gallon) metal cans, brought to the factory by farmers who operated dairy farms at Acton, Fyshwick, and Kambah. The milk was delivered to Canberrans without bottling or pasteurisation, ladled into waiting containers.<img alt="IMG_1895" class="richtext-image full-width" height="573" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_1895.width-800.jpg" width="800">A new factory was added to the Mildura Street site in 1952, and pasteurisation and bottling began in 1958. Around this time, many local dairies ceased operation after the resumption of their land for the filling of Lake Burley Griffin in the early 1960s.The original building and later additions have produced and distributed milk to the ACT community for more than 85 years.

A true haven for those seeking serenity by the sea

Canberra living doesn’t get any more prestigious than this.A masterpiece of old-world character and new-world renovation, this elegant home at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/59-mugga-way-red-hill-act-2603-99350/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">59 Mugga Way</a> in Red Hill is a classic example of why the area is dubbed the ‘Golden Mile’.<img alt="59-mugga-way-red-hill-act-2603-99350-image-0-20240415011721848855-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/59-mugga-way-red-hill-act-2603-99350-image-0-2.width-800.jpg" width="800">One of Canberra’s finest residential enclaves, homes here exude luxury and sophistication, making it a sought-after address for those who appreciate opulence and refined living.Sales agent <a href="/agents/sophie-luton-2/">Sophie Luton</a>, from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/luton-manuka/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luton Manuka Real Estate</a>, said this property epitomises the country manor feel the area is known for.“The space, the high ceilings, the gardens and the way it is spread over the 2000 square metre block – it’s got that formality and character, but it’s also paired beautifully with a modern transformation and stunning finishes without making it cold or sacrificing any of the charm,” she said.<img alt="59-mugga-way-red-hill-act-2603-99350-image-0-20240415011725172652-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/59-mugga-way-red-hill-act-2603-99350-image-0-2.width-800_AAKSXv4.jpg" width="800">There’s not much this home doesn’t offer. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a glorious outdoor undercover entertaining area, a spacious and well-appointed home office, and a location second to none.“The only thing it doesn’t have is a pool,” said Sophie.“However, there is an infrared sauna and an outdoor shower, but if someone really wanted a pool, there’s definitely plenty of space on a block this size.”There are highlights galore, and Sophie admits she was spellbound by the glass-walled feature cellar, a focal point inside the home.“I think my jaw actually dropped when I first saw the wine cellar. I had to pick it up off the floor!“Wine cellars are a feature many people look for in a high-end home, and I don’t think I have seen one as impressive as this before. I love how they have made it a feature. It is its own room with a glass wall and door – you can walk into it and sit down, and one whole wall is dedicated to wine storage.”<img alt="59-mugga-way-red-hill-act-2603-99350-image-0-20240415011724056948-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/59-mugga-way-red-hill-act-2603-99350-image-0-2.width-800_H1QsyjA.jpg" width="800">Picture windows in every room survey the surrounding gardens, and there are various outdoor spaces where you can enjoy relaxing or entertaining at different times of the year.“It’s a very private home. You wouldn’t know that you are in the centre of Canberra,” Sophie explains.“In every part of the garden, there is a feature area where you could sit, and if there were people outside in other areas, you wouldn’t know; they are really nicely segregated from each other.“It’s nice to have so many options to choose from.”Inside, three bedrooms have their own ensuite, and a fourth is close to the main bathroom.“The main bedroom is an amazing parents’ retreat. It opens through French doors onto its own little terrace, and to the right of that are the infrared sauna and outdoor shower. It’s a lovely feature.“You can relax and enjoy that and then get to work in the office with built-in desks and storage. It’s the best of both worlds.”She said the walk-in wardrobe facilities in the main bedroom were also very grand.“I don’t think I’ve seen a dressing room like that before either – it’s a bit like being in a department store.”<img alt="59-mugga-way-red-hill-act-2603-99350-image-0-20240415011726561120-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/59-mugga-way-red-hill-act-2603-99350-image-0-2.width-800_yJLRAoB.jpg" width="800">Red Hill has always been a highly sought-after suburb due to its inner south location.“It typically has a lot of larger blocks and residences on it,” said Sophie.“It’s always been a noteworthy suburb but has become more so in the last few years for a range of reasons. The grammar school has become co-educational, and it’s only about 200 metres away, so there’ll be no dealing with traffic to do the school drop-off.“The flats that used to be at the Red Hill shops have been demolished, and the area has been redeveloped. A huge amount of money has been spent in that area, which has made it even more liveable.“You are also at the bottom of Red Hill, so there are lots of walking trails, and the Federal Golf Club is nearby.”The property is being auctioned on Tuesday, 7 May, at 5 pm and is open for inspection on Saturday, 20 April, at 11:45 am and Monday, 22 April, at 12 pm.Sophie said it was very deserving of the $5.5 million price guide.“It’s not a standard price point for real estate in Canberra, but it’s definitely at the higher end of the market here.“The land’s value is $2.75 million, and we know blocks have been sold on Mugga Way for $3 million and $4 million, and the house has been demolished for a rebuild, so it shows the exclusivity of the land itself.“However, even at $5.5 million, if you were to buy the land and then rebuild what’s there, you’d be spending well above that.”59 Mugga Way, Red Hill goes to auction Tuesday 7 May 5pm.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/59-mugga-way-red-hill-act-2603-99350/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/superb-family-residence-in-red-hill-the-epitome-of-refined-opulence/762005" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>
